Astro­log­i­cal Mus­ings – Where are we now, A look back at 2019; A look ahead for 2020 (Novem­ber 24, 2019)

Note: First I want­ed to apol­o­gize to those of you who tuned or called in on Octo­ber 27 only to dis­cov­er that there was noth­ing being broad­cast. I was unaware of this at the time, and when I fin­ished my talk and turned to take ques­tions no one was wait­ing. Some­how, the BlogTalk mike was mute, but the one on my com­put­er was on. So, I did record the show, but did not broad­cast it. I do apol­o­gize, but I was able to upload the show and it is avail­able as a pod­cast if you wish to lis­ten to it. 

In my Fif­teenth show of 2019, we will look back at the major Astro­log­i­cal themes of 2019 and con­sid­er the indi­ca­tions for 2020.

As before, I will answer your ques­tions dur­ing the show, whether on this top­ic or some oth­er mat­ter, includ­ing per­son­al ques­tions about your astro­log­i­cal chart. If you do wish to ask a per­son­al ques­tion, please be ready to pro­vide at least your birth date and birth­place, and time of your birth if you have that too.

If you wish to sug­gest a sub­ject or top­ic for a future show, please email me as I would be hap­py to hear from you. My email is: billattride@gmail.com.

The Path of Wisdom

You will always reach the most supreme and delight­ful moments in Scor­pio; and you will also fall into the deep­est and dark­est of pits too. For it is here, at the cross­ing point between “the dark­ness and the light”, it is here that you will find your­self beyond “the beyond”. In this space between worlds, there are no words at all that could encom­pass what you faced and felt. It is an Alchem­i­cal Realm of great promise and pain, the cru­cible of Birth, Death and Rebirth.

What you encounter here, wher­ev­er you have Scor­pio or when­ev­er you move through its space, will leave you stunned and speech­less by the unde­ni­able and ulti­mate truths about your human jour­ney. You feel this now, you are an immor­tal in mor­tal realms, and your life will be a tapes­try of love and loss, filled with great joy and marked by deep pain. And if you do not have these, well then you are not tru­ly human at all.

But you will also be blessed by a time­less gift in this realm of shad­ow and light. Behind all of it you will feel the first promise that was made (and kept) when you began your jour­ney long, long ago. The Immor­tal Spir­it behind all of cre­ation, which forms the shin­ing cord of your true self and with one anoth­er too, will for­ev­er hold you and all of this cre­ation togeth­er by the Ener­gy-Form behind it all, and you know this because you have felt this, it is pure uncon­di­tion­al love.

But now you turn to face the dawn­ing of a brand-new day, and you will enter the Halls of Wis­dom. You will be offered the balm of Under­stand­ing in the Libraries of Truth. It is time for you to return to the peren­ni­al “Wells of Wis­dom”, as you take up your cup and drink from these eter­nal truths, which will bind your hurts and heal your wounds and restore your peace of mind once more.

Yes, you have been on a long, wind­ing and cir­cuitous Jour­ney of Awak­en­ing. From an unself-con­scious spark of the divine, your pere­gri­na­tions have brought you to this present day and pre­cious realm of Spir­it where you are “human”. The Light of self-aware­ness was lit for you long ago by those whose karmic duty was to bestow this gift, as they in turn had received this bless­ing many ages ago. These Promethean Fires are the gifts of Spir­it encod­ed and embod­ied wher­ev­er and when­ev­er you move through the Realm of Sagittarius.

From the very begin­ning until the end of this Cos­mic cycle, the Truths that form and sus­tain the whole of Cre­ation, (and which are part of the very being and fiber of each and every one of you), remains the same. The very rea­son that you are capa­ble of self-mas­tery through self-under­stand­ing, is because these same truths equal­ly form all these worlds around you. You and all of Cre­ation are made of these very same Ener­gy-Forms of Light and Love and Truth. That is why the Key to your Lib­er­a­tion, one of the Pil­lars of Pur­pose­ful­ness that will hold you to the Mid­dle Path of your jour­ney, is by hold­ing to the first injunc­tion, “Know Thyself”.

For it is by only by Right Thought that you can form Right Action, and by this you will become a mas­ter of your­self. For your­self, and for one anoth­er, you are only human because you have shared your sto­ries, your dis­cov­er­ies, your philoso­phies and sci­ences, your meta­physics and wis­dom with all who are here and those who came before you too.

We have made one anoth­er by telling our sto­ries to one anoth­er, and these sto­ries are the ves­sels of you, and from your ances­tors and then for all who will come long after you, we give thanks for these gifts of the spir­it that form our soul-full and liv­ing truth.

Tell your sto­ries, sing your songs and gath­er togeth­er in cer­e­mo­ny and sacred spaces of silence too.

Just as it was, and shall ever be, let us begin again with those mag­i­cal words…

Once upon a time…

And may it be, that we shall one day also gath­er and say to one anoth­er too…

And they lived hap­pi­ly ever after…

May it be, let it be.

So be it.

The Path of Awakening

Yes, it is that time once again.

Many will com­plain about all the trou­bles, snafu’s, mis­un­der­stand­ings and mis­takes that have been surg­ing late­ly, and they may seek to find some cause or scape­goat to blame, like some dis­tant mem­ber of our solar sys­tem. But real­ly, and quite sim­ply, this is a mis­un­der­stand­ing about what is going on. All of this is the sto­ry of spir­it, and this is how the uni­verse works.

Remem­ber, you are here to learn one thing tru­ly, to know yourself.

You are also here to dis­cov­er that you can only mas­ter and exer­cise con­trol over one thing too. Again, that is yourself.

This is the Law: Know Thy­self; Rule Thyself.

By stay­ing upon the path of spir­i­tu­al unfold­ment, that is by steadi­ly increas­ing your self-knowl­edge, (which will elic­it from you an ever greater sym­pa­thy and under­stand­ing for all the lives and the worlds that sur­round you), you will slow­ly but steadi­ly rise into self-mas­tery. There is only one thing you can tru­ly con­trol, it is your­self. And those who live this truth are revealed and revered by their wis­dom and humil­i­ty. This is the roy­al road of truth, the path of self-ful­fill­ment for all souls, whether they be human or planetary.

Yes, it is time for you to slow down, and to take this oppor­tu­ni­ty to step back and recon­sid­er: What do you know; and, how do you know it?

Three times a year, the plan­et Mer­cury catch­es up to Earth, pass­ing us like a rac­er on the inside track as both plan­ets cir­cle around the Sun. When Mer­cury does this it appears to be “loop­ing back­wards” against the back­drop of the heav­ens, and then, after three weeks it appears to move for­ward once more. As in all things, it takes dis­cern­ment and a more encom­pass­ing point of view to see what is real­ly going on.

That real­ly is the point of Mer­cury ret­ro­grade for us too. We need these reg­u­lar reminders of the essen­tial neces­si­ty to do some inter­nal “house­keep­ing”, to clear our minds of mis­per­cep­tions and mis­un­der­stand­ings. We need this gift of Mer­cury so that we might pause and take this gift of time, to reflect upon and to ques­tion our assump­tions of how we think, and what we think we know.

Yes, we need to reex­am­ine our thought-forms and men­tal pat­terns, to ques­tion our modes of obser­va­tion and analy­sis. We should strive to strength­en our pow­ers of dis­cern­ment and delib­er­a­tion. We need to endeav­or to re-work and restore our men­tal frame­works of under­stand­ing and our path­ways of com­mu­ni­ca­tion with one another.

All of this should be some­thing we endeav­or to do each and every day. You should begin the day with reflec­tion and prepa­ra­tion, and end your day with review, repair and renew­al. But most cer­tain­ly, dur­ing any Mer­cury ret­ro­grade, we must all remem­ber that “the weath­er out there” has changed, and that this won­drous realm of mind is going through a strong shift of ener­gy-forms. You must strive to be even more mind­ful and care­ful in these next three weeks.

Since each and every one of us is affect­ed by this shift of ener­gies, that we are all more intro­spec­tive and inward­ly focused, we must be even more atten­tive to what we observe and receive from oth­ers. And, we must equal­ly be more care­ful in how we reach out to con­nect with oth­ers by word and by deed. The chances of mis­un­der­stand­ing and mis­steps are high­er now, but if we stay alert, we can use this time to make great progress with one another.

Mer­cury is ret­ro­grad­ing in Scor­pio for the entire peri­od. It is cer­tain­ly going to be a time that will reveal deep and com­pelling secrets; and, it will shift the path of life and love, turned by soul­ful truths for you and for your world.

Emo­tions will run high­er, and the need to stay in con­trol of your­self, to remain cen­tered and calm despite the bat­tles of shad­ows and light, will be more essen­tial for one and for all.

Do your part…

Watch calm­ly, lis­ten care­ful­ly, think deeply, and ques­tion thoroughly.

When you find your­self in that tru­ly Scor­pio space, where your words will fail you.

Be grate­ful, and wait patient­ly, for this means you have reached the moment where the veil will lift a lit­tle higher.

There is only one way to move ahead now, in humil­i­ty and grace,

You must let go…and grow.

The Sacred Union, the Cru­cible of Immortality

Now you enter the place of mys­tery and mag­ic; the holy realm that is known as the “Tem­ple of Alche­my”. It is here that you will find the source of your quick­en­ing, the leav­en­ing of your spir­i­tu­al poten­tial through a hier­ar­chy of com­bi­na­tions, col­lab­o­ra­tions and syn­the­ses. This is the heart and soul of Spir­it; this is the Way of the Divine which is made man­i­fest in the sacred dances of Spir­i­tu­al Union.

In Libra you forge the space of I and Thou, and it is there that you must strive to con­scious­ly set the con­di­tions for one another’s expe­ri­ence of one anoth­er. There you formed the implied and explic­it pat­terns and con­di­tions between I and Thou, “the third space of We”. This is the true space of your “free­dom to be and become”, and it is shaped by your under­stand­ing of your­self and of one anoth­er. You deter­mine what you seek from and need to give to one anoth­er, guid­ed by your rea­son, and so you form the mutu­al­ly agreed upon prin­ci­ples and rules, often formed into laws and con­tracts, that will make pos­si­ble your mutu­al self-fulfillment.

But it is here in the “Cru­cible of Union” that that the real “work of the soul” is done. Here you move beyond the “airy” rea­sons of Libra into the “watery” realm of feel­ings held by Scor­pio. It is here in the sacred cen­ters that are every­where and in every­thing, it is here where the promise of indi­vid­u­a­tion, of your real­iza­tion of your indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and the ful­fill­ment of your unique promise is forged through your sac­ri­fices to and for one another.

It is by these sacred acts of self-tran­scen­dence, of giv­ing up the less­er parts of your­self in order to bring forth the greater that is with­in and between you, it is this which makes and moves you into your greater or high­er self. It is here in the realm of alchem­i­cal trans­for­ma­tions where you become for one anoth­er the very means of spir­i­tu­al awak­en­ing; it is here where you encounter the mys­ter­ies of love and loss, of birth, death and rebirth, and it is here that you expe­ri­ence the inti­ma­tions and proof of your own immor­tal­i­ty too.

Yes, you can­not become tru­ly human with­out one anoth­er; you are made of one anoth­er and become what you are by all the many inter­ac­tions that you have with one anoth­er. It is here in Scor­pio that you con­scious­ly choose to do this: Here you must will­ing­ly give up some less­er part of your­self (and so dis­cov­er some deep­er truth, some fin­er qual­i­ty of being with­in you both), as you share, hon­or and lift one anoth­er into a more sub­lime real­i­ty. And this can only hap­pen because you face and over­come your fear of rejec­tion and loss.

You take a risk in reach­ing out to one anoth­er, (but you real­ly have noth­ing “to lose”), and as long as you remain true to your­self, anchored in your love and cen­tered in your truth, you will find the path togeth­er to your greater selves.

Yes, in Scor­pio you expe­ri­ence the heights and the depths, the unimag­in­able joy of pierc­ing beyond the illu­sion of being alone and sep­a­rate, and so become more tru­ly one with one anoth­er. Yet you will also expe­ri­ence the awful pain of when that inevitably ends, when they leave or are “tak­en” from you. Here in Scor­pio you face the ulti­mate truths and they leave you speech­less, you are struck dumb and with­out words.

You can­not expe­ri­ence the gift of Love with­out the agony of loss; you can­not have Joy with­out pain for they are insep­a­ra­ble. Here you must bow you head and open your heart to that mys­tery where two become one is made real, and then you must equal­ly be ready, at some point, to say to one anoth­er, “fare thee well, until we meet again.”

Yes, it is in Scor­pio, (and you have Scor­pio some place in your chart), where you will find your­self beyond words, as you encounter the great­est joys and the most ago­niz­ing pains. You expe­ri­ence the unimag­in­able joy of union, of trans­for­ma­tion and self-tran­scen­dence, the redemp­tion and release from your less­er self. But you equal­ly face the great­est fears and pains, of rejec­tion, of loss of your beloved, and you equal­ly face your own mor­tal­i­ty too.

Yes, it is said that Scor­pio is the “strongest” sign; It is stronger, because it needs to be.

Yes, you feel this now, you know the truth that makes you tremble…everything and every­one will die, and you ask your­self “what hope can remain after this?” Well, it comes from this…this expe­ri­ence which is “real” is also anoth­er illu­sion. It is not your spir­it or soul that is lost, it is just the form that you were in for a very short time. You (and all of cre­ation), are Immor­tals in mor­tal mat­ter. This dance of Spir­it and your Spir­it-Form are eter­nal; and you will move through form after form, into life after life, meet­ing one anoth­er again and again and again, so that you may smile and laugh and dance and love once more, as you have so many, many times before.

You have noth­ing to fear; you are an Immor­tal mov­ing through mor­tal realms. You are here to be for one anoth­er the very liv­ing instru­ments that lift one anoth­er to live by the Light and Love that is the “Warp and Weft” of the whole of Cre­ation. What is with­in you sur­rounds and sus­tains you; It is Spir­it whose Ener­gy-Form you know as Love. The illu­sion of your mor­tal exis­tence is this feel­ing of sep­a­ra­tion, and your mov­ing beyond this each time in your Scor­pio Unions will ulti­mate­ly free you from the fear of death and bring you to the promised land of Immortality.

This is the gift and truth of Scorpio.

You have noth­ing to fear, for you are an Immortal.

You were made by love, and you are here to love.

You are here for one anoth­er, because you are all part of one another.

And all you have to do, is let go of your fear,

And Love one another.
